I my wrench rails taped. Once you install them, I don't see a reason to move them around. Get everything laid out and planned where you want it, then tape them down. In my wrench drawers though, I don't use the liners like I do in other drawers. If you need to move them, peel them up using a...

Depends on the car you are working on. For instance, a german car (BMW, MB, Porsche, VW) do not have anywhere to put a curved top stand, in fact they tend to slip off the flat round jack points. All of their jack points are flat and typically round and work much better with a flat top stand...

Thanks! and good call! 8 years old, had her since 8 weeks. Hard to believe she was ever this small.

I'd say that is a no brainer. I'd also say that is it is probably gone by now at that price!

I've never had a problem with pounding on twelve point socket either. I've done a ton of them. Just make sure to use a long breaker bar to turn it off. An impact will strip it right away and you are back to square one.

Garage has changed a lot, but the shop and track supervisor is still the same.

I have the same 9 Auto wrench (as well as quite a few of the Diamond cresents) but it is stamped "9 IN AUTO" up by the jaws. I'd have to ask my dad where it came from on the farm if he remembers. I am pretty sure he still has a full set of Diamond combination wrenches. But a quick google...

I had my big cordless impact start making some odd sounds for awhile (which then went away), so I called bosch customer service and said, well it seems fine now, but it was making noises. It was under warranty and about a year old (3 year warranty deal) so she sent me a brand new unit, and said...

There are also youtube videos walking you through each step which is also nice. I just got mine up last month for my Bendpak Midrise. You are going to love having a lift :) I was going to go with a maxjax, but didn't want to kill my other stall space as I wouldn't ever remove the lift due to...

If you want to do the spindle, then you can pick up any 944 hub cheap along with a spindle. Use a non turbo hub and spindle. A 911 hub will be much more expensive, and the spindle is actually part of the strut on the 911's. The 944NA stuff is pretty dirt cheap in terms of porsche parts.

I use the earnst units. Free standing they tend to tip over, so I used 3m VHB tape strips on the bottom of them to secure them to the drawers and they are wonderful. I bought them after seeing my buddy's wrench rack from Mac. They are a little nicer, but I couldn't find them. In the end...

Hydraulic pump for my bendpak midrise. I took it off that cheasy stand and just mounted it to the wall.

Here is my gt3rs hose reel. I just used threaded pipe and a stand off base to mount to the studs. I also shoved a PVC tapered fitting on backwards to keep the wheel tight on the wall. You could use another pvc tapered fitting on the inside as well and space it slightly away from the wall if...

I was quoted about $900 to raise my door 18" and install the 3800 (that includes the cost of the 3800). I decided to purchase and install the 3800 myself as I could find it a lot cheaper, but had the door company raise the door, which they charged me $350 to do. I was looking around and seemd...

I painted my walls after the white had gotten a bit dingy looking after a few years of work in the garage. I thought the darker color would cause lighting issues in the garage, but it didn't really seem to affect it at all. My advice is to do any extra electrical wiring/drywall work now before...
